 @LydiaConwell @jay_peper @cmconseils @nrmacdonald @LydiaConwell @cmconseils Dude, we're talking ~600 AD, which empire are you talking about? @jay_peper @LydiaConwell @cmconseils @nrmacdonald that's the point. Arthurian legends predate England (and King Arthur would've fought against those that would create England ~300 years later. He would've been Welsh/Briton, but not English) @jay_peper @jay_peper @nrmacdonald I don't know why we're arguing, you didn't seem to like that I "corrected" you from England to Wales for the whole Ruler-via-sword-in-lake-meme (and I know 'Wales' is also kinda incorrect b/c it's a Saxon exonym for the Britons. But not sure if 'Cymry' would've confused even more) @jay_peper @nrmacdonald @jay_peper yes as a German I have to admit: whole GB/UK is generally perceived to be English. The others only appear either in football championships or in a particular topic. I am truly sorry for that. But’s comparable to the legend that every German wears Bavarian clothing and drinks beer 🍻 @Sunny @jay_peper @Sunny @nrmacdonald @jay_peper Hmm.. I as a German perceive this lovely island to be all Scottish... *G* What a lovely wee claidheamh-mòr for a quinee... 😉 "Welsh" would be Okay, too... BTW... I love to see how you two sorted out your issue.  @jay_peper @nrmacdonald Briton yes but not Welsh. He was king of Logres which is supposed to be the south and east of present-day England, and, through his mother, also ruled over Cornwall (Many versions make him rule over all the Britons though, including Wales, Cambria and Brittany - where most of Lancelot-related events happen) |
@nrmacdonald @cmconseils yes, but a Britonic mystical figure, not English.
